Overview

  • Ilya Mikheyev scored twice, including an empty-netter, and Andre Burakovsky netted the go-ahead power-play goal with 11:05 remaining.
  • Spencer Knight stopped 22 of 23 shots as Utah outshot Chicago 23-14 and dominated the second period 13-3 in shots.
  • Utah went 0-for-3 on the power play and has struggled to convert early in the season, slipping to 1-2.
  • JJ Peterka recorded his first goal with the Mammoth early in the third period to briefly tie the game.
  • Mammoth defenseman Sean Durzi is expected to miss about four weeks with an upper-body injury, elevating roles for younger blueliners like Dmitri Simashev; Utah hosts Calgary and Chicago visits St. Louis on Wednesday.
